All of sudden, Ebon was the tallest kid in school.

Luckily, Larry chose the school. Kenny Battle had seen him in a summer league and he sent him here. We were fortunate.

This milestone just means that I have been fortunate enough to work at a school that has a great academic reputation. That lets us attract some quality student athletes. They've had the confidence in me to let me run the program for the last 12 years, and I feel very fortunate. It also makes me think about the coach I played for here at AU, Don Holler. Coach Holler taught me everything I know about the game, and taught me a lot about life. He and his wife are very close to me.

I thought we played even. I'm sure they beat us on the boards [Meadowbrook 33-28]. We beat them from the field [Highland Springs 22-21].

We got out of our sets. We were staying with them and winning on half-court sets. We got away from what got us where we were.

I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at 4:00 in the afternoon, I'd be a college graduate today.
